    Not according to state statute.

    CRS 18-12-102 (2) states "As used in this section, the term 'illegal weapon' means a blackjack, gas gun, metallic knuckles, gravity knife or switchblade knife."

    CRS 18-12-102 (4) states, "A person who knowingly possesses an illegal weapon commits a Class 1 Misdemeanor."

    CRS 18-12-102 (5) states, "It shall be an affirmative defense to the charge of possessing a dangerous weapon, or to the charge of possessing an illegal weapon, that the person so accused was a peace officer or member of the armed forces of the United States or Colorado National Guard acting in the lawful discharge of his duties, or that said person has a valid permit and license for possession of such weapon."

    TFogger, please show me in statute where it is legal to own in your house. It says possession and doesn't mention in or out of the house. Additionally, it is illegal for LEO and military to possess unless in the course of their official duties and that is an affirmative defense that can be brought up only in prosecution of the offense.

    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
